This tutorial will set you through using Zend_Tool to jump-start development on your next ZF MVC application. Zend_Tool is both RAD tools as well as a framework for exposing your own set of tooling needs to the Zend_Tool user interface.

The recent release of php 5.2.0, which includes by default an extension for converting php values from and to the JSON format, is a good occasion for comparing the different existing php libraries which aim to provide the same capabilities.

REST Web Services use service-specific XML formats. These ad-hoc standards mean that the manner for accessing a REST web service is different for each service. REST web services typically use URL parameters (GET data) or path information for requesting data and POST data for sending data.

The Zend Framework provides both Client and Server capabilities, which, when used together allow for a much more "local" interface experience via virtual object property access. The Server component features automatic exposition of functions and classes using a meaningful and simple XML format. When accessing these services using the Client, it is possible to easily retrieve the return data from the remote call. Should you wish to use the client with a non-Zend_Rest_Server based service, it will still provide easier data access.

Zend_Config is designed to simplify access to and use of configuration data within applications. It provides a nested object property based user interface for accessing such configuration data within application code. The configuration data may come from a variety of media supporting hierarchical data storage. Currently Zend_Config provides adapters for configuration data that are stored in text files with Zend_Config_Ini and Zend_Config_Xml.

With the current Zend Framework Beta 0.9.2 release the Zend_Log component has been improved with a new fully object oriented design. There are lots of new features including Writers, Filters, Formatters and Events to discover and use in custom applications. The log Priorities have been doubled from 4 to 8 in the current release and it's now possible to add user defined log Priorities via the Zend_Log addPriority method. Due to the use of one of PHP magic functions it's even possible to send messages of the log Priority type simply by calling the 'priorityName()' method, i.e. $logger->audit('Auditional message'), of the Zend_Log object without further ado.

Dijit-specific Zend_Form elements and decorators

The Dojo distribution itself may be found in the externals/dojo/ directory of the Zend Framework distribution. This is a source distribution, which includes Dojo's full javascript source, unit tests, and build tools. You can symlink this into your javascript directory, copy it, or use the build tool to create your own custom build to include in your project. Alternately, you can use one of the Content Delivery Networks that offer Dojo (ZF supports both the official AOL CDN as well as the Google CDN).

Who works with Zend Framework, most likely, have read the “Zend_Controller / Getting Started” Zend Framework manual article, which explains how to use Zend_Controller in the root folder of the web server. But it does not answer on the “How to run my Zend Framework application in a subfolder of the web server document folder?” question and I propose you my solutions. First is rather a hack then a recommended solution, but with it you can start the applications and examples that use standard router. The second is neater but it depends on the Zend_Controller_RewriteRouter class.

Zend_Log is a general purpose logging class. Zend_Log is a static class that can not be instantiated directly. It holds an array of instances of Zend_Log, one for each log used by the application. Each logger instance uses an adapter that implements Zend_Log_Adapter_Interface.
